Hiatus

So I managed 17 days of daily postings... and then dried up. Not bad all things considered.

Actually I did have subjects I wanted to discuss. The Harlequin ladybird caught my attention the other day. Then there's the terrible plight of Charlotte Wyatt, and the misleading terms in which commentators and the media have discussed the case. There was also National Poetry Day yesterday, which content wise could have been a bit of a gift.

But unfortunately I've not been able to think of much to say on any of these subjects.

The conservative party conference has been going on all week, but the thought that anyone would be taking any of their laughable proclamations seriously (as one person in the Question Time audience last night had) was too depressing.
Anyway there's been quite enough politics on this blog over the past few weeks, and it's time for a bit of balance. This isn't a political blog, I just talk about politics, because it's part of my life, and indeed affects everyone's lives.

Not much has been going on in life recently, I've been commuting to work from Manchester, which is a 95 mile round trip, almost twice as far as the regular 50 miles, but not twice as long given that 70% of the journey is on motorways and 70mph dual carriageways. I was in Leeds Monday night for a medical appointment, followed by a sub committee meeting of the local Lib Dems that I'm not sure I'm allowed to talk about. I haven't been to either Headingley or Roundhay Explorers this week.
Househunting is not going well, I hope something turns up soon.

Tonight I'm off to Giants Seat near Bury for the SAGGA Theme Weekend, where we will be participating in think tanks on various Scouting and Guiding related topics. It will be nice to see people, I hope it hasn't mattered that I didn't formally book in.
